The "Sketchbook location" and preferences.txt file paths are invalid in the Arduino IDE, File > Preferences properties if the user name contains accents or dieresis; such characters are replaced by other signs for example a Per Mille sign (‰). This also lead to the creation of folders with the wrong names on the disk.

Which os are you using? Can you tell the actual location of your sketchbook so we may reproduce your issue?

This should be fixed in the current hourly build http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software#hourly. Can you please give it a try?

The OS is Windows 10 Pro, x64. The default location of the Sketchbook was "C:\Users\Noël\Documents" which appeared as "C:\Users\No‰l\Documents" in the IDE and a "C:\Users\No‰l" folder was created which includes sub-folders: AppData\Roaming\Arduino15 with 4 files including preferences.txt. I will give the hourly build a try, I will uninstall the current version 1.6.5 and delete the invalid folders first. Thanks.

Yeah, it looks a lot like #3360 which was fixed

Indeed, this issue is fixed in the latest hourly build: the paths look ok in the IDE and the correct folders are used on the disk, no more No‰l folders. Thanks.
